RANCH DRESSING WITH FRESH HERBS



Ranch Dressing With Fresh Herbs image

Although the original ranch dressing was made with ingredients like garlic powder and dried dill, fresh herbs and real garlic give this dressing a much brighter taste - and a pretty pale green color. This dressing is adapted from the restaurant Emily in Brooklyn, N.Y., one of the first pizzerias in New York City to serve ranch dressing. It's still a controversial combination in Brooklyn, but the chef Matt Hyland's dressing is uncontroversially delicious.

CLASSIC RANCH DRESSING



Classic Ranch Dressing image

The original dressing served in the 1950s at Hidden Valley Ranch, a guest ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., was made mostly from dry herbs and aromatics. To recreate that taste, this recipe is made with garlic powder instead of garlic, dried parsley instead of fresh, and so on. It makes enough seasoning mix for about 4 cups dressing; you can mix it, store it, then add dairy as needed. If you don't like the zip of mustard, try hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce instead - or simply omit for a milder taste. To make a thick dip instead of a pourable dressing, reduce the amount of buttermilk to 1/4 cup.

DILL RANCH DRESSING

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill is essential for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon dried dill, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Add some酸味: A little bit of lemon juice or white vinegar will help to brighten up the flavor of the dressing.
  • Don't over-mix the dressing: Over-mixing the dressing will make it thick and gloopy. Stir the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Let the dressing chill: Chilling the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Dill ranch dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, vegetables, chicken, and fish. With its creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavor, dill ranch dressing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
